SIlCE.
The most interesting committee meetings
of the session were held in the rooms at
the Sheridan house last evening, and the
speeches delivered by Messrs. Mentzer,
Sprague and Aikens are spoken of as
oratorical gems of the season. The politi-
cal cyclone is now humping down through
the political valley and will whisk its tail
in the region of the capitol this afternoon.
The committee to whom was referred the
bill for the removal of the United States
court from Yankton to Mitchell considered
the bill last evening and were regaled by
a charming and convincing speech from
Mr.. Mentzer. At the close Of the delibera-
tlons the committee took vote, which
stood to in favor Of removal. 1t is un-
derstood that a minority report will be sub.
mitted by Mr.. Morris, the member of the
committee from the Yankton district, al.
though he was very nearly convinced that
in justice to the people of the interested
section the court should be held in Mitch.

in favor Of Mitchell and one for Yankton-
the bill will be brought before the legis-
lature this afternoon, and the first genuine
catch-aS-catch-can tussle of the session
will be witnessed,
AS to the Aikens railroad bill for the re-
peal of the law taking companies upon

tory before this committee was no less EN-.

cial court committee was favored. Mr.
Aikens never looked handsOmer, and with
his rosy face and sparkling eyes he held
the committee enraptured while he shot
sweet sugar-c0ated wads Of logic into
their. willing ears, and etfectually ripped
up the ties and shattered the rails of every

ANARCHY will receive slight sti mulus
from the Chicago strike. The brick
layers and stone mssons are on a
strike which will throw out of employ
ment 40, 900 men of various trades. Idle
ness is the DEVILS own prize, and with so
many men idle, some must suffer. The
discomfort which will surely arise will be
famed by the arts and agitation of an
archial emissaries. The tyranny of
capital the bloodthirstiness of the bloated
bondholders, and all other stock argu-
ments, will be acclaimed by professional
Jaw workers who are sure to come to the
surface on occasions like this. If the
bona fde workingmen could muzzle these
professional agitators and. attend to
their own. business in their own
plain, sensible way, there would be
less of vice and violence connected with
strikes. The true workingman is usually
honest, sensible and conservative, and

THE OLD AND NEW.

There is big TODD being made over
the recently discovered "New South"
and one very estimable gentleman is en-
deeVoring to secure presidential
nomination by the magical assistance OF
the new discovery. The majority OF
southern people are well enough satisfied
with the Old South, and are not at all
anxious for change. Of course we want
new cities, new enterprises, new develop
ments and new commercial life, but not a
new south. There is something cravenly
submissive and meanly repentant, not IN
the term itself, but in it's Interpretation,
which is distasteful to southern minds.
We can invite immigration, encourage
foreign enterprises to come amongst US,
cultivate and nourish fraternal feelings
! between ourselves and our former enc
mics, but we will not do this at the ex-
pense of our honor or manhood. The
old south has no meek apologies to offer
or acts of contrition to murmur. Those
who cannot assimilate with US as we
are, we can live without. In all great
contests, might is right and the logic OF
events has shown US that we were the
weaker, yet our patriotism is as pure, ou1
love as strong and our country as dear to
US now as it has ever been. The physl,
cal face of the country may undergo
changes; cities may rise on the ruins Of
hamlets, gardens may bloom where ones
was barren waste, but it is the ole
south still. Her traditions will be
cherished; Gods sunlight will still shine
on her fertile valleys and the fame of hel
statesmen and the glory of her warriors
will be still the property of the old south

Science and Natural Gas.
Chicago Inter Ocean.


The elaborate report of Professor Or
ton, state geologist for Ohio, upon pc
troleum and infammable gas has Just
been made public document, in the sense
of being published for sale. Mr.. Orion
ridicules and disproves the assertion that
natural gas is a product Of the natural
distillation of petroleum at various
depths from the earth's surface
The analysis which he adopts
of the product OF the
great gas well at Finlay, Ohio,
is that of marsh gas, 92.61; defiant gas,
OBJ; hydrogen, 2.1S; nitrogen, 3.6l ;
oxygen, 0.34; carbonIc acid, 0.26; car
bonic oxide, $50; suIphuretted hydrogen,
0.2O. There is nothing in this analysis
wherein to establish a rule that natural
burning gas can be found only in the
neighborhood OF deposits of petro-
Ieum, though it is pretty well
proven that where petroleum OF
petrolifc rock exists there is con-
tinual decomposition of gas-making
material in progress. Most Of the sue
cessful oil wells of Ohio and Pennsyl-
vania have been found near oil-producing
strata, but in Indiana there is no "oil
belt", so called, within easy distance OF
the great wells. AS has been said, the
Indiana wells are on the edges of great
swamps, IN which there is an eternal
process of that decomposition of Vegeta-
BILE and animal matter by which burning
oil and burning gas are both made.
Mr.. Orton's report is conclusive against
the Trenton rock theory. Many good
wells have been found in that formation,
equally good ones have been found in the
Berea grit, and some, though hitherto OF
less value, in formation of magnetism
limestone. In fact the report of the state
geolegist bears out the deduction which
the unscientifc mind had formed by Undue
tive reasoning, viz that as the forces which
